Kyle Inman is graduating this year from CSUSM with a degree in Business Administration.

As one of the college’s brightest students, he has a great understanding for the world of business, but he also has a great understanding for the game of golf.

The game of golf first became a part of Inman’s life when his stepfather, a head pro and golf instructor, started giving him lessons at 13 years old. Now a days, Inman is the one giving golf lessons to young kids.

According to Inman, one of the biggest things to remember when learning to play golf is to be patient.

“Golf is a sport where you have long term goals. You should stick with it in the long term like most long-term-life goals that you set for yourself. Not being patient with your results is why a lot of people turn away from golf,” Inman said.

After coaching for many years, Inman says that the number one tip that he constantly gives is that you need to keep your head down. People are often so anxious to see where they hit the ball that they look up before it even goes anywhere.

San Marcos Executive is a great golf course to learn on because  it is shorter and more forgiving according to Inman. Students are on a budget, and he recommends that you find a cheaper set of clubs online to start with.

“You have to figure everyone started at ground zero. Don’t feel worried about feeling judged or stupid. It’s so easy to get into your own head,” Inman said.

It is important to figure out if you learn best with watching, listening or doing, but then you just have to get out and do it.
